Time to return to fifth grade to learn how to calculate a percentage.
14621/1110147 = 0.01317
When doing a calculation of a percentage you should have learned to move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right. So 1.317% of the cases resulted in a fatality. This leaves a survival rate of 98.683 %.
I am not sure why you think a survival rate says anything about the wisdom of masks or lockdowns. It doesn't. It says something about the underlying fragility of those sickened and the strength of the health care system to respond to critical illness.

Survival rate is another factor. A lot of people do not acknowledge the long term effects and associated costs with the people who do get sick and do not die.
